Yes, it was incredible to see all those stars again -- many in their prime. However, the thing that caught my attention was the incredible detail about everything in the film -- from the picnic attaché to the fabulous gowns, and the dancing numbers and singing numbers.
I'm retired, and when I watch 'newer' films, they typically bore me. In the newer films, it always seems to be nighttime. The dialog is mumbled so as to make much of it unintelligible. Then there are sooooo many flashbacks that it's too much work to straighten everything out.
In this film, they seem to have embraced Thomas Edison's new-fangled invention called "The Light Bulb", as everything is bright -- so you can actually SEE what is going on!
This film took me back there -- my parents' generation. I thought the singing and dancing were impeccable, regardless of the poofy elites here who like to trash this fine film!
Just think ... in addition to fighting the Germans and the Japanese -- converting virtually the entire U. S. into Wartime efforts, this "Great Generation" still had time to make this fine film! I think that is simply incredible!
Oh, and Betty Grable was pregnant during or around the time this film was made! I've also read somewhere that Ms. Grable was pregnant when that iconic "pin-up" photo was taken -- and her pose was from the back to hide a baby bump.
Incredible performances by all! Don't believe the nay-sayers -- this is a fine film!

I'm not going into what the director did before, how this piqued an actor's portfolio, bla, bla, bla or any of that movie-nonsense. Go read other reviews that are filled with that!
What I care about is the STORY! I'm not even going to say "what if". I'm saying that this film is a sneaky way to tell us all what really happened. Did we ever really go to the Moon. I don't think so; but lots of people do.
Go review what's on YT currently.
1) Why are there no stars in the "Moon photos"?
2) Why do shadows appear to converge?
3) Why is ALL the footage you've ever seen is a 3rd-generation copy of someone pointing their video camera at a TV screen?
4) Why was there no evidence to any Moon-dust thrown around under the 'Lunar Lander'?
5) How were the astronauts protected from the Van-Allen radiation belt?
6) So, NASA now claims they "lost" the tapes and the recipe of how to do Moon Landings.
I'll stop here -- go do your own research and decide for yourself if we ever really went to the Moon!
